The self-righteous, hypocritical bullshit is heating up on the US,
Japanese, and South Korean side. Even the United Nations is involved.
They are all once again lecturing and threatening North Korea about
launching a rocket into space. The message is - you are not allowed
because you are bad!

Forget the fact that the US launches more military rockets than anyone
else in the world. What right does the US have to say who can - and who
can't - launch rockets into space? Are we king of the world?

How come the US can invade all kinds of countries, lead the world in
arms exports, overthrow governments and install puppet governments - and
then is allowed to launch all the missiles it wants? No one says a
word about US rocket launches.

It's a double standard.....

The US has no right to tell other nations what they can launch. As long
as the Pentagon has nuclear weapons that can be fired at any moment,
and is developing the world's most technologically advanced space
warfare system, it has no legitimacy on the subject.

With North Korea declaring its intention to push ahead with a third
nuclear test following the United Nations Security Council resolution on
its launch of a long-range rocket, it seems hardly a coincidence that
the US, China, and Japan have launched their own interceptor missiles
and spy satellites. As the intensity of the North Korean nuclear crisis
soars and the strategic competition between the US and China, and
between China and Japan, heats up in the Asia-Pacific region, military
tensions are on the rise in Northeast Asia.....

On Jan. 26 (local time), the US Defense Department announced that it had
succeeded in a test of a missile defense system that can intercept
intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that are aimed at the
continental US while they are still outside the atmosphere.....

On Jan. 27, Japan launched the Radar-4 information-gathering satellite,
which functions as a spy satellite, from the Tanegashima Space Center in
Kagoshima Prefecture. Now that the satellite, delivered on an H-2A
rocket, has entered its planned orbit, Japan's surveillance network has
expanded to five information-gathering satellites three optical
satellites and two radar satellites that are capable of monitoring every
spot on earth once each day.

North Korea is not going to attack anyone. If they did they'd be buried
in conventional and nuclear responses. North Korea knows it's on the
US list of nations to be taken down. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Libya, Yemen, Iran, Syria and North Korea. The North Koreans can see
that the list is getting shorter and shorter.

The US to this very day has not agreed to a peace treaty with North
Korea. After 60 years of an "armistice" the war is officially still
on. ( The definition of armistice : temporary suspension of hostilities by mutual agreement.)

North Korea has to wonder when "temporary" is over?

The people in the US need to stop buying the mafioso bravado from their
so-called government. We are the global bully and nothing changes until
the citizens here deal with the fact that our country is, as Martin
Luther King so rightly said, "The greatest purveyor of violence in the
world today."

It's time to get real.
